Hotel California A Salute to the EAGLES - The #1 Eagles

If there 8767 s a flaw in Part One , it 8767 s everyone sidestepping the pink elephant in the room: 8 The Eagles actually broke up because of an alpha-dog battle. Frey and Henley started out as equals in the Eagles, but by Hotel California , Henley had quietly assumed creative control. There was no way around it.

I know, I know, it 8767 s hard to imagine Frey bullying band members, clashing with producers and threatening to murder guitarists after all, he 8767 s the 8775 Take It Eaaaaaaaaaaaasy 8776 guy who spent the 8767 85s telling you the heat was on.

Henley: 8775 My simple explanation is that it 8767 s a song about the journey from innocence to experience. That is all. 8776

And as their careers progress, every subsequent demon feeds off one of those three questions. They wanted success for years and years now, they 8767 re almost fearing it. For whatever reason, Henley understood that internal struggle. He got it in the moment, and he gets it now.
